Another week down, it was a busy one too!
We had so many member appointments and lessons it was great. We've been trying to grind and get all the members to help us out on FB and it's been working. The members just think the missionaries are still locked down doing nothing but we're showing them what we've been up to and they all get super excited to help! They want to be in on the videos and even want to use they're expertise to help us make them so they look better and it's been sick. On Monday, one of the members was a HOMIE and made Costa Vida sweet pork burritos with the spicy ranch and homemade salsa, it was cash money dolla bills! One of the best member dinners I've had and we even had apple pie with ice cream for dessert! Bjørn is doing good, we should be setting a baptismal date with him on Friday so that'll be exciting to hear! Then some other investigators are improving as well which is good. On our way to an appointment this week we were at a bus stop waiting and it was freezing cold outside (we woke up to a blanket of snow this morning) so we looked behind us and saw there was a Methodist church welcoming people in, we decided to head on in because it was Sunday and we were cold. We walked in and they were so kind and accepting. We watched as they were all singing and dancing, playing the keyboard singing hallelujah! When we sat down, I glanced over at this man sitting on the back row with his family. He had his head bowed and I knew he was talking to our Father in Heaven in prayer. He may not belong to our church but that man was having a conversation with God and you could just see he believed! His little son was sitting next to him praying as well and it made me realize that there are so many good people in this world who really believe in God and know he's there despite all the craziness. I didn't get the chance to talk to him because I had to catch the bus and he hadn't stopped praying from the time I walked in to the time I left but his great example certainly impacted my day. I started the Book of Mormon over again and I have been studying the individual accounts of all the witnesses and learning more about who these men were. And even though most of them left the church they all testified of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon till the day they died and never denied it. One of the sentences I liked said something like, " I held the cold heavy plates in my hands and leafed through the thin gold pages and felt the engravings of the sacred text by the power of God" it was so cool and very powerful to have these witnesses testify of the plates. I love reading from the Book of Mormon, It's amazing!
Hope you all have a good week!
